Team Challenge is the CCFA running/walking group that helped us train and raise money. I raised about 4 grand for the CCFA and made good friends within Team Challenge. Since my J-Pouch is letting me do things like run distances, I'll keep doing this to support the cause. I should post pics of the Half-Marathon we did in Vegas this past December.

I loved that job! I would go back in a heart beat if they ever had an opening in Houston! My time with CCFA both in volunteer and in employment status changed me so much as a patient and as a person. Although now after having my surgery I am cured so to speak of my UC I still believe that CCFA is the greatest non profit for all it does! I too encourage people with active disease, remission disease or removed disease to get involved! Good luck with your walk!

I'm still knee (and bag) deep in the surgical process, but I hope that I can someday be healthy enough to be of some use to other people still suffering with UC and Crohns.
